Runtime HRMS is capable of sending automated personalized greetings to your team members.

Greetings can be configured for following 3 types of events:

* Birthday
* Work Anniversary
* Wedding Anniversary

Further, there are 3 modes of message delivery:

* E-Mail
* SMS
* Push Notifications

### Configure Greetings

Let’s consider example of configuring Birthday Greetings. The same procedure will apply to Work Anniversary and Weeding Anniversary greeting also.

As shown in the screenshot above, first you need to enable ‘Send E-Mail’ or ‘Send SMS’ or ‘Send Push Notifications’ to enable a particular mode of message delivery.\
If you want a copy of greeting to be sent to an employee’s manager and/or HR Manager, you can enable ‘Send copy to Reporting Manager’ and ‘Send copy to HR Manager’ options.

For e-mail greeting, type a subject of email in first box and then type a greeting message in second box.\
Use special fields like {first\_name} or {last\_name} to replace with actual employee name when sending the greeting.

For e.g. if the employee name is “Anshika Agarwal”, and following message is configured:

`Dear {first_name},`\
`From the entire team of XYZ Corporation, we wish you a very Happy Birthday!`\
`Best Regards,`\
`Your Friends at XYZ Corporation`

The final message that will be delivered will be:

`Dear Anshika,`\
`From the entire team of XYZ Corporation, we wish you a very Happy Birthday!`\
`Best Regards,`\
`Your Friends at XYZ Corporation`

For SMS, you only need to enter message as there is no subject.

For Push Notifications, enter a title and a message to deliver notification on employee’s mobile.

Note: Push Notifications can only be delivered if the employee has [Workman ](https://www.runtime.one/docs/employee-self-service/runtime-workman)application installed and activated.
